the story of a lonely lady who lives in a caravan since the death of her husband, and how a recurring dream she keeps having finally leads her into the courage to begin a brand new life!
|
She has a radio to hide her waking memories of him
And in her mind a thousand jagged photographs
No ordinary day could win
She'd use her coffee and the crossword as a prop if she was seen
Another brightly coloured float in her parade of meaningless routine
And how she craved the sound of summer squeals and sprinklers
Braving winter nights alone
They bore a fragment of the times
When chocolate smiles and tiny kisses were her own
And though the times were often tight
He'd worked as hard as any man
One simple frame beside her bed the only clue to life
beyond this caravan
And then one night she kicked her shoes off in a dream
And danced alone until she woke her soul was free
Three years have passed of peeling paint
And season renters in her place
And she was only missed a week by those who can't recall her face
And with a courage that she'd never known
She sold to start again
And in a million years she'd never have believed
In time her broken heart would mend
And then one night she kicked her shoes off in a dream
And danced alone until she woke her soul was free
And then one night she kicked her shoes off in a dream
And when she woke her soul was free
